  • Inspect equipment daily to ensure safe and proper operation
  • Assist with major repairs and rebuilds as needed
  • Document maintenance activities and communicate issues through the Maintenance Manager
  • Request and coordinate replacement parts, tools, and components
  • Follow all OSHA, safety, housekeeping, and environmental procedures

  • Ability to read and troubleshoot using schematics, blueprints, and drawings
  • Comfortable working on the floor in a fast-paced manufacturing environment

Why This Role Is Worth It

  • You’ll work on complex, modern injection molding equipment
  • Your skills directly impact uptime, quality, and production success
  • Variety in your day—no two breakdowns or repairs are the same
  • Stable, long-term opportunity in manufacturing with room to grow
  • Be part of a team that values safety, reliability, and technical expertise
